Welcome to...

Have a look around and you'll discover (endless) photos, (thrilling) travel journal extracts, and (at least five) bits and pieces related to travel, volunteering and adventure, including a blog bursting with misguided travel nonsense and a lot of capital letters.

You'll also find at least a little something on every country I've ever been to. And if you've got no idea who I am - there's even a page on that. Exciting.

My apologies in advance for the pages on countries I visited when I was very young so remember little of, and those I have only experienced through airport stop-overs. Yes, all three or four of them. Don't worry, I know it doesn't really count as having gone to a country if that's all you've seen of it, but I like to think, if your feet touch ground for at least a moment, you were there, even if you didn't have time to do anything more than buy a sandwich and knock several old people over running through the airport before hopping back on a plane. Don't tell me you haven't been there.

Right now I'm in the process of updating this site with my latest trips. Somehow life got in the way and I haven't written ANYTHING on Uganda, seven countries I toured on a South Eastern Europe trip in 2016, a long weekend in Copenhagen and an accident holiday in Malta... But I'm getting on it. BRACE YOURSELF.

See you soon in a distant land, sunburnt to a crisp and probably nursing several thousand mosquito bites,

Above: Arriving in my 40th country, on my 26th birthday (Sarajevo, Bosnia) ​P.S. Thank you to everyone who has visited this site, travelled with me, financially contributed to my travel (especially my bewilderingly generous parents and Queens' College), trekked with me, taught with me, got lost with me, let me use their pictures on here and let me write for them. You're all SUPERB.
